With the evolution of the internet there is no question that the LGBTQ Community in Nigeria is on the periphery, but it has found a stable haven for collective LGBTQ voices on a digital platforms.
Social media as well as various dating gay-friendly websites have in recent time created a safe and anonymous life spa e where LGBTQ can express themselves freely social media and other gay-friendly apps and websites where they can come out to connect, advocate, find emotional and financial support, and the courage to be open about their sexuality’ even with the knowledge that the society frowns at us and what we stand for.
Social media now allows the queer Nigerian to unapologetically express their sexuality, for example, you can incorporate vocabularies such as ‘’gay’’, ‘’homo’’ and ‘’queer’’ . You can also use the rainbow, which is the global emblem of LGBTQ activism in your handle.
The downside is that the digital space can also expose you to blackmail and assault that can lead to being arrested by the police and like you know the Nigerian law is not in support of LGBTQ.
